Greg,

The Leica M6TTL brochure is dated from April 1998 !
And the M6 TTL advert was used in September in other magazine.
BTW, that's one the problem with Pop Photo, the two months delay.
A Photokina report in December ! ;-)

To be really fair their was a fifth of page about the M6 TTL in 
the Photokina report.(Pop Photo 12/98)
And their was a mention about it at the end of the 'old' M6 test/report.
